THE BIKE
Introducing the new Trek Supercaliber XC bike as raced by the Trek Factory Racing team. The Supercaliber will be making its first appearance in this ride series and everyone will be assigned this bike for the ride.
There is nothing else like the Trek Supercaliber. This game-changing cross country mountain bike is fast, light, and smooth through the rough stuff. Combining the best of both worlds, the Supercaliber pairs the speed of a hardtail with the comfort of a full suspension bike.
You can spend your Drops in the Zwift Drop Shop to add the Supercaliber to your stable—so you’re ready to take on the dirt whenever you want.
